...for the Folk-freaks among ye!
We endeavored to provide you with an authentic celtic asskick, loaded with a richt blend of accoustic and historical instruments! Besides the usual metal instrumentarium, "spirit" was recorded with the following instruments:

The release of "Spirit" is coming closer! On June 2th 06 we'll celebrate a Release Party in Winterthur (CH)! Prepare for a rackety and barbarious feast! As special guest the german folk metallers Odroerir will visit us on this evening and play their first show in Switzerland! You will find further infos and a flyer in the concert agenda.

Furthermore we're happy to announce that we'll be on european tour in September - together with Odroerir! In the concert agenda you will find further infos during the next weeks.

As promised, we come up with another festival again! We're happy to announce that we'll play at this year's Metalcamp Openair in Tolmin/Slowenia!
Like for the Earthshaker Fest, it's not yet definitely confirmed, on which day we'll play - we'll keep you up to date!

See some of you there, hopefully!

Horns raised!

New label - new album!

Hails!

Proudly we announce that we’ve signed a contract with the German label Twilight (Koldbrann, Endstille, Master, Stoneman, Disparaged, ect.)!

We’re really happy about signing to Germanys “big small” label and are looking forward to a prosperous cooperation!

So we can now as well announce that we’re heavily working on new songs! We plan to enter the studio next summer and release “Spirits” successor album in autumn 2007. You can expect a massive Celtic swordblow! Furthermore we plan to release a MCD containing some surprises, also in autumn 2007. Be anxious to it! Also an expanded European tour is planned after the release of the album. But well, we’ll not blab and divulge too much so far! Stay tuned for good news during the next 9 months! For this reason we’ll cut down our live activity in spring & summer 2007. Besides our performance at some big Summerfestivals (tba) we won’t play too much shows – so that we can consecrate ourselves to the new album all out!

At the same time our “era” under the banner of Fear Dark comes to an end. In May 2004 we signed to the Dutch label. Now, that the time for a “step forward” has come, we look back at 3,5 years of close and intense teamwork with our fellows from Holland. Through lots of “forging plans” together, so many good laughs, also heatedly discussions and many, many shared beers (including some “dirty” excesses as result! Remember, Kim? lol) we became good friends with Fear Dark. It was a good time!

So, we now just want to say: “Thank you, guys! You’ve done a lot for us! Thank you for all your support and for believing in us. We wouldn’t have come far without your help – and we won’t forget that! Sincerely we wish you all the best for your future ways – as an ambitious label and also as persons! Our horns are solemnly raised and a fervent ‘hail!’ is shouted!”

New booking agency & endorser

Hails!

We hope you all had some recreative and canny days round solstice!
So far we're happy to announce that we've signed the international booking agency Rock the nation (Behemoth, Kataklysm, Wintersun, Equilibrium & many more)! We're looking forward to a good cooperation!

Furthermore we're also proud and pleased to herald some new endorsements! Our guitarist Ivo is now endersed by Madison Amps (Deicide, Behemoth, Crytopsy & many more) as well as by Schecter Guitars (Nevermore, Deicide & more)!

We wish you all a very happy new year! ...and probably we'll see some of you in Düdingen or Pratteln?!

The release of our album "Slania" will be delayed. It is now definitely postponed to next year!

But don't be disappointed, for we have some damn good reasons for this: As we notified good two months ago, we were also working on purely acoustic folk material. This project - originally intended as an MCD only - has grown into something much larger during the writing process, so we are happy and proud to announce that twilight records will release one complete full-length album brimmed with mystical Celtic folk music as well as an additional MCD with some new waves of folk metal!

Both releases - belonging together conceptual - deal with ancient Gaulish mythology. Lyrically the songs dip from the source: Diverse ancient Gaulish texts that have been discovered as stone carvings, metal engravings, etc. These two conceptual releases are an in-depth voyage through the Celtic soul!

"Evocation I - The Arcane Dominion" (album) & "Evocation II - Visions" (MCD) are both to be released through twilight on the 15th of February 2008 and also include performances of several renowed guest-musicians - during the next weeks more will be revealed bit by bit. Stay tuned!

Furthermore we can announce that twilight records will also re-release our current album Spirit within the next weeks. As some of you may have recognized Spirit has been sold out a few weeks ago and wasn't available anymore due to some unlucky circumstances. hereby we would like to thank the people from fear dark records for their great work during the last years... Without you guys we wouldn't be where we are right now! We apologize to the ones of you that tried to get their hands on Spirit in during the last weeks.

For further info on the Evocation-releases, news about Slania and big news about upcoming tours stay tuned. There's a lot coming up!
